(c) 273 K, 278 K and 543 K
(d) 298 K, 310 K and 338 K
Answer: (a) 298 K, 311 K and 339 K

Explanation:
K =25 °C + 273
Hence 25°C = 273 + 25 = 298 K
38°C = 273 + 38 = 311 K
66°C = 273 + 66 = 339 K

Answer: (d) Does not rise at all

Explanation:
Temperature of the water during vaporisation does not change at all because the heat is used in overcoming particle-particle attraction forces, which in turn keeps the temperature constant.

(d) Conversion of solid into liquid is called sublimation.
Answer: (b) Conversion of vapours into solid without passing through the liquid state is called sublimation.

Explanation:
Conversion of solid into vapours on heating or vapours into solid on cooling without undergoing in liquid state is called sublimation. The conversion of liquid into gas or vapour is called vaporization. The conversion of liquid into solid is called freezing. The conversion of solid into liquid is called melting.

Question 92. The evaporation of water increases under the following conditions:

(a) Increase in temperature, decrease in surface area
(b) Increase in surface area, decrease in temperature
(c) Increase in surface area, rise in temperature
(d) Increase in temperature, increase in surface area, addition of common salt
Answer: (c) Increase in surface area, rise in temperature

Explanation:
When surface area increases and temperature rises, evaporation of water increases because the area which is exposed to the outer atmosphere is more and increasing the temperature leads to increase in the kinetic energy, due to which rate of evaporation increases.

Explanation:
Ammonia gas can be liquefied by applying high pressure and lowering the temperature. In option (B): Solid carbon dioxide is stored under high pressure. In option (C): The conversion of solid carbon dioxide into carbon dioxide gas is a change of state which is caused by the decrease in pressure and increase atmospheric temperature. In option (D): Whatever be the temperature at which evaporation take place, the latent heat of vaporization must be supplied whenever a liquid change into vapour or gas.

Question 95. Which of the following statement is incorrect?

(a) The particles of matter are very, very small
(b) The particles of matter attract one another
(c) The particles of some of the matter are moving constantly
(d) The particles of all the matter have spaces between them
Answer: (c) The particles of some of the matter are moving constantly

Explanation:
The statement that the particles of some forms of matter move constantly is incorrect because the particles of matter of all three states– solid, liquid and gas –are moving constantly. Although the particles of solids are fixed at their positions, they vibrate constantly.

Question 98. In which of the following conditions, the distance between the molecules of hydrogen gas would increase?

(a) Increasing pressure on hydrogen contained in a closed container and Increasing the volume of the container of hydrogen gas.
(b) Increasing pressure on hydrogen contained in a closed container and Adding more hydrogen gas to the container without increasing the volume of the container.
(c) Some hydrogen gas leaking out of the container and Increasing the volume of the container of hydrogen gas
(d) Some hydrogen gas leaking out of the container and Adding more hydrogen gas to the container without increasing the volume of the container.
Answer: (c) Some hydrogen gas leaking out of the container and Increasing the volume of the container of hydrogen gas

Explanation:
Hydrogen gas leaking from the container leaves some vacant space inside the container. So, hydrogen gas molecules inside the container occupy all the space available and the distance between the molecules of hydrogen gas will be increased. On increasing the volume of the container of hydrogen gas, more space will be available inside the container and hydrogen gas molecule will occupy all the space available and hence distance between the molecules will be increased. On increasing pressure, hydrogen molecules will come closer and the distance between them will be decreased. More hydrogen gas molecules are available in less volume, so the distance between them will be decreased.
